Imagine if you could take pollution produced by diesel engines and turn it into a non-carcinogenic substance used in ink, reducing the need for burning fossil fuels.
Imagine if you could take pollution produced by diesel engines and turn it into a non-carcinogenic substance used in ink, reducing the need for burning fossil fuels.
A team of innovative scientists with a desire to clean up the air we breathe has come up with a way to create exactly this thanks to plenty of research and innovative thinking, with a new product called Air-Ink.
Witnessing the impact caused by air pollution first hand in India, Graviky Labs founders Anirudh Sharma, Nikhil Kaushik, and Nitesh Kadyan have spent the last three years working in some of the most polluted areas of India devising a specialist kit that captures 93% of pollution emitted from an engine's exhaust pipe (specifically the unburned carbon released from incomplete combustion).
From this pollution, the team creates ink for use in fabric paint, screen-printing, oil based paints and markers. Just 45 minutes' worth of car emissions can produce one fluid once of ink, enough for one Air-Ink pen.
